🪙 SINGLE-SIDED INSTRUCTIONS
🖨️ Settings & Manufacturing Instructions
Printer Compatibility
Any FFF/FDM printer with at least a 40 × 40 × 5 mm build volume.
Nozzle & Bed
Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mm (or 0.25 mm for extra crisp details)
Bed Surface: Glass, PEI, or BuildTak with glue stick or blue tape for reliable adhesion
Filament Recommendations
PLA: Best for fine detail and easy printing
PETG: More durable, slightly glossy finish
ABS: For heat resistance (enclosure recommended)
Layer & Perimeter Settings
Layer Height: 0.1–0.15 mm to capture fine 0.55 mm relief
Perimeters (Walls): 3 shells for sharp edge definition
Infill & Speeds
Infill: 10–15% (gyroid or grid pattern) for strength + material savings
Print Speed: 30–50 mm/s (slower speeds yield crisper relief details)
Temperatures (Guide)
Material Nozzle °C Bed °C Notes
PLA 200–205 55 For most applications
PETG 235–240 70–75 Glossy, durable finish
ABS 240–250 90–100 (encl.) For heat resistance, enclosure recommended
Orientation & s
Lay flat on the build plate (relief facing up)
s: Not needed for basic round coin geometry
📏 Scaling Guidelines
This model is designed at:
Diameter: 38.15 mm
Thickness: 3 mm
Relief Height: 0.55 mm
When scaling uniformly in your slicer (X/Y/Z together), all dimensions, including relief height, will scale proportionally. For example, doubling the size (200% scale) will make the relief height 1.1 mm.
✅ Adjusting Relief Independently:
If you want to make the relief deeper or shallower without changing the coin’s diameter, adjust the Z-axis scale separately in your slicer. For instance:
150% Z-scale: Increases relief depth by 50%
100% X/Y, 200% Z: Doubles the relief without altering diameter
🛡️ Always preview your sliced model before printing to ensure it meets your needs.
🛠️ Post-Processing
Lightly sand edges and relief peaks with 400-grit sandpaper for a clean finish.
Apply primer or filler-primer to enhance fine details before painting.
For a metallic look: consider metal-leafing or metallic spray paint.
